About SCAM

Sports Committee at MICA or as it is popularly known ‘SCAM’ works day in day out to make sure that amidst the plethora of assignments, classes and rigorous academic schedules of an MBA college, our batch-mates have access to the best sporting infrastructure, equipment and an event-extensive sports calendar for the year.

SCAM organises various intra-college sport events such as King Pong (Table Tennis), Coxic Smash (Badminton), Acers (Lawn tennis), Dunkers (Basket Ball) and leagues such as the MFL (MICA Football League) and MCL (MICA Cricket League) all through the year. And finally, the flagship event of SCAM, SAMAR, witnesses an overwhelming participation from top-tier MBA schools cheered by close to thousand supporters!

Apart from this, “Scammies” (yes, that is how they are addressed as) do everything from the scratch, starting from planning, logistics, marketing, campus relations to selecting the final contingent for MICA. This is perhaps, the greatest learning from SCAM, that every member has access to a holistic learning and not just in a particular channel.
